Croziers

I thought you might like to see these, they are medieval but an Italian company called Tridentinum who say they are able to reproduce them within a couple of months. I would almost disbelieve it, except they have recently made vestments for the Papal Sacristy.

I don't want a crozier but has anyone commissioned anything from them?

Gosh, some of us haven't seen a crozier in use for years!

Evidently, some bishops think that they are above "all that sort of thing" when it comes to adhering to the rubrics contained in the Ceremoniale Episcoporum, thus denying us who aren't consecrated as liturgist-in-chief our right to have the Sacred Liturgy as Holy Mother Church intends it. Such appalling manners!

Gregory Dix, an Anglican religious with a vast knowledge of history, once said that it was not surprising what bishops did as the sign of a bishop was a crook and that of an archbishop was a double cross.
